Deryk Barker asked:

>Brendel? Has he recorded any Chopin?

and reported Brendel as saying:

>you have to make a lifetime's studying of him, which is why he never plays
>Chopin . . .

On Vanguard lp C-10058, now on Vanguard Classics CD OVC-4023, Brendel
evidently had endured lifetime study enough to record the Andante Spianato
& Grande Polonaise, the Polonaise Fantaisie, and three other Polonaises.
